Patient's question:
After the abortion, I experienced nausea and vomiting again. I also had pale face, cold hands and feet, and cold sweat. I felt very painful. The doctor said it was a post-abortion syndrome. What should I do? Do I need to take medication or can it be relieved on my own?Doctor's answer:
The artificial abortion syndrome refers to the recurrence of nausea, vomiting, pale complexion, dizziness, chest tightness, and profuse sweating during and after the uterine evacuation procedure due to surgical pain and local irritation. In severe cases, it may also lead to hypotension, convulsions, and loss of consciousness. Mild cases can usually be relieved by rest, while severe cases require symptomatic medication. Before the surgery, it is important to provide psychological comfort, and during the procedure, care should be taken to ensure gentle movements.
